Looks good .. Cover the whole sponge area , with the moisture and the lights mold will grow there .. Put something over it pop a hole in the middle for the plants stem ..

yo ismoked....I germed my seeds in a 50 mL jar with warm water and 1 drop of superthrive. I then put the jar on top of my computer tower for the warmth. they cracked in 12 hours but i left them in there for a day and a half. I transferred them to the AG pods with taproot pointed down in a sponge that was cut in half vertically so the tap root can work its way down easier. I used one tab of the AG starter nutes which seems to be just fine. I used 2 last time and that was also fine. But, I feel less is better. I'll be using different nutes besides the AG ones later. I also placed the seed as close to the top of the sponge as possible. I detached the hood and have the AG lights 3-4 inches above the sprout. I had a little bit of stretching goin on, so I gently moved the sprout down into the pod a little more (by removing the pod first). It's easier to do this with the sponge cut in half. This, from what i hear, will help for stability in the long run. just be careful with the roots. Its been 7 days and here they are....

yea i split my sponges.. but another thing, i kinda lost order of my lighting cycle..When i first plugged the AG sunday the lights would turn on at 11 and turn off at 11...today it came on at a diff time and i really want to keep track and order of this..

I have my AG light hooked up to my timer (using the figure 8 cord I bought) so I can choose when I want the light to be on and off. I have it runnin 18/6 right now 8 days into the grow. Light is on from 6am to 12am every day.

no cause the only thing working is the water pump, so if it gets re started it shouldnt be a prob
